Kelly & Stone Architects

You know how some architecture firms just push out the same “signature look” over and over? That’s not Kelly & Stone Architects.

They’re a high-end residential architecture firm with studios in Colorado and Tahoe, and what they actually do well is design homes that feel personal and grounded. Nothing cookie-cutter. Every project starts with listening—really listening—to how the client lives and what they want their home to feel like. Then they go all in on creating something bold, beautiful, and totally custom.

They’ve been doing this since 2006, and they’ve worked all over the country—mountain homes, lakeside retreats, even some celebrity-level properties. Their homes have been featured in Architectural Digest and Luxe, which says a lot about the quality and design.

And here’s what we love: they don’t just focus on the big, flashy stuff. They make sure even the behind-the-scenes systems—like HVAC—come from brands they trust. So when they build for comfort, it’s actually quiet, reliable, and designed to blend in seamlessly.

Their vibe isn’t about showing off—it’s about designing something that feels right. If you want a firm that balances creativity with technical precision, and actually makes the process collaborative (not overwhelming), KSA’s your people.
